I know we share cM 20.60 and our largest block is 7.96. I also have another surname as you Waller, only mine came from Deleware to Georgia, never have been able to find that the lines connect. Hope to hear from you! Helen >>Helen Nichols Murphy, Coronado, CA - hewick1@yahoo.com / Robinson Rootsweb Admin   >> >>> > > >
